The family was up dressed for Big Splash and down to breakfast, finishing as the limo arrived to take them all to the water park for the day. "Thanks Chele for including us." Jessie said. "Oh sweetie, we should thank you. It can't be easy trying to live a normal life, enjoying friends and outings to the water park when every gal pal you make only want you because your brothers are Hanson." Chele answered her. "It's not quite that bad." Avie said. "Yeah it is." Jessie answered back. "Hey I tell you what, you want to try the normal life routine, come stay with me for a while. Momma could they, we could have a blast. There's about three weeks before school starts. I've got cheerleading practice but you can come along. It's only a couple hours each day." Jessy asked. "Really you want us to come stay with you?" Jessie asked surprised. "Yeah I've had a blast with you guys since I met you and I've got a bunch of really great friends that would never judge you for what your name is. You might enjoy small town, country living." Jessy invited. "Mom, Daddy could I go home with Jessy for a week or two?" Jessie asked. "Me too?" Avie said. "Diana the girls are more than welcome to come stay with us. Actually it's perfect timing the boys won't be around the next two weeks." Barbara insisted as the limo pulled up to the entrance of Big Splash and the press was all over the group from the start. "So you weren't getting along and including the family hoping things go better?" one reporter asked. "So NOT true. We are all getting along quite well. So Well that I couldn't imagine today as just the six of us, we are a family all fourteen of us." Chele answered. "Yeah and our sponsor today, Big Splash is so pro family, Family is what Big Splash is about, that they included the other eight in our party without a second thought. Can I just say that meeting Hanson was like a dream come true but meeting the Hanson Family has been truly inspirational. Meeting Mom and Dad Hanson has renewed my faith in love. You don't know how sad it is for me to admit that finally I have met a married couple that without thinking or wondering, I know they truly love each other, are meant to be married. The love and devotion Mom and Dad have for each other has been shared with all seven of their children and it probably sounds hoaky but they top my list of the nicest, kindest, warmest kids I've ever meet. From the eldest right down to the youngest here, they are the most caring people I've been around." Jessy exclaimed bending to pick up Zoe who stood in front of here with her arms extended. "Hey my Zoe. I promised to take you swimming didn't I?" Jessy asked her kissing her, then holding her high and twirling. "Sorry guys, I hope you got your pictures because I made a promise and I'm going to keep it right now. Tell them bye bye Zoe." Jessy said. "Bye bye." Zoe said waving as Jessy headed to the owner, thanking him for sponsoring their day and including the family. "Momma this table okay?" Jessy asked helping Zoe out of her clothes. "Sure that's a good center location, I'll be able to keep and eye on all of you from there." Barbara answered as Jessy unbuttoned her dress, removed it and suddenly the cameras were all focused at Jessy in her blue french cut bikini as she and Zoe made their way to the kiddie pool. The two were having a great time, splashing, laughing and when Zac neared they double teamed him, totally drenching him. Zac was determined for revenge, picking Jessy up and heading to the target spot for the dumping water bucket at the top of the fort, "Oh we're even now. Zoe and I drench you and now you drench you." Jessy teased kissing him playfully. "I just couldn't let go of my body, I was suppose to leave you before it dumped, but I just couldn't let you go." Zac confessed as cameras caught Jessy kissing him. "Zac I'm sorry. I shouldn't have." Jessy apologized looking away. "Jessy you should have. You love me why wouldn't you kiss me?" Zac declared. "But, but. Oh you're right. I love you Zac Hanson." Jessy declared kissing him again longer and harder. "I love you too Jessy." Zac exclaimed as cameras flashed again. "Jessy?" Zac asked putting her down. "Yeah babe?" Jessy replied gazing into his warm brown eyes. "Umm, Jessy, why didn't you invite me to come to your house?" Zac asked gazing into her bright blue eyes. "Oh, I guess I didn't, did I hun. I'm sorry babe, I guess I assumed you would just tag along Zac. Of course you're welcome at my house, it's sort of your house now too." Jessy declared noticing the bucket about to dump and jumping out of the way, watching Zac get drenched as Jessy picked up Zoe and they laughed together. "What you mean, it's sort of my house now too?" Zac asked shaking like a wet dog and splattering the press and all three laughed at them. "Maybe you shouldn't be so close." Zac said glaring at them. "Come on babe." Jessy said taking his hand and heading to his father. "Daddy? Daddy?" Jessy called. "What sweetie?" Walker asked are they going to be here all day? Don't we get any private time? Daddy they're starting to get on my nerves." Jessy pouted. "You're right sweetie, press time is up. I'll see they're removed. Maybe you three ought to stay here for a little while until it's cleared." Walker suggested. "Thanks Dad. Babe you want something to drink?" Zac asked. "Me do." Zoe said. "Yeah hun I think your girls are both thirsty." Jessy answered. "Momma, Momma Donna, Mom any of you want something?" Zac asked before he headed over to the snack bar bringing back a tray full of drinks and pretzels. They sat chatting with the Moms while Walker asked the press to leave. "I just don't believe how Zoe has taken to Jessy. I honestly haven't been away from her formore than four or five hours and that's when the guys were with her and kept her occupied so she didn't realize I was gone." Diana confessed. "Man we busted butt big time to keep her from noticing Mom wasn't there and after about two hours I think she new she wasn't happy." Zac explained watching Zoe curl up in Jessy's lap, nodding off. "You guys make her sound like a spoiled baby. Zoe is not a spoiled baby. Maybe a little over dependent on mommy but she's such a sweetheart you can't help but love her. Mom you want your first vacation? Momma can I?" Jessy asked. "You know I was thinking the same thing, go ahead." Barbara answered. "Mom let all the kids come home with me. No one has to know. We live in the country and the neighbors that pass our place may notice a few extra blondes but there's no way anyone would know who they are. We could have a blast. We've got horses they can ride, there are for quads to keep the guys busy. I know it's spur of the moment but wouldn't you and Daddy like some time alone. You don't even have to go anywhere. The two of you home alone. I doubt if you two have been home alone since Isaac was born." Jessy said trying to convince her. "Mom it would do you and Daddy a world of good. Sometimes I think you two sacrifice yourselves too much for us kids. Do this for the two of you?" Zac asked. "I'm tempted." Diana said. "God girl, if you can't handle being alone with Walker than the two of you just come and vacation with us." Barbara said, quickly adding, "That's it. I take your kids and your van. You and Walker try this alone thing. If it doesn't work for you, just hop a flight over to either stay with us or get the kids and your van to return home. Either way is fine with me." Barbara said. "Walker. Walker." Diana called out. "What is it dear?" Walker came rushing over. "Please say yes?" Diana asked then explained. "You're either certifiable or one hell of a lady, Barbara. Either way I'm taking you up on it." Walker answered Diana's request. "It's done then and I prefer to think of myself as one hell of a certifiable lady." Barbara laughed. "She's got my vote." Donna chimed in. "Man what will we do? I don't remember the last time we were alone." Walker said. "Daddy why do you have to do something. Don't you want to be alone with Mom? I just love the house to myself. I can play my music loud, streak, scream, eat when I want, sleep in." Jessy explained. "Streaking through the house. Can I tempt you dear?" Walker teased. "Who cares about that, I'm going to take a bath and not be interrupted. It's going to be heaven." Diana said. "It's like they have radar. I can't remember the last time I went to the bathroom without someone screaming something at me." Barbara complained. "Oh I just love it when the minute you sit down, that's where everyone else wants to sit." Diana said. "God yes, then they start pushing and shoving to get a spot and you finally give in and move and it starts all over again." Barbara laughed. "Umm babe can you slide to chairs together and put the litte swim mat in it as a mattress and make Zoe a bed for me?" Jessy asked. "Sure baby." Zac said fashioning bed in the shade of the umbrella and helping Jessy to her feet. "Sweet dreams Zoe." Jessy said kissing her lightly. "We're out of here so you guys can really be honest with each other without hurting our feelings. We wouldn't all want to sit next to you if you weren't so much fun to be with. You are certifiable you know." Jessy teased. Zac tried leading her to the pool with the others but Jessy spied Mackie in the kiddie wave pool looking all alone. "Oh Zac he looks so lonely." Jessy whined. "Jessy I want you to myself. Oh you're right, he does look lonely. Let's go cheer him up." Zac said and they took him on the tube rides, water slide, "It wouldn't hurt the older four to be as attentive and caring as Zac and Jessy. See them taking care of Mackie." Donna pointed out. "You'll have to give Jessy credit for it. Zac definitely had his mind on something else." Walker said. "Jessy adores kids. Diana that's why I offered to take them all, Jessy is just that way when it comes to kids, anybody's kids. I do believe she has a very special interest in your kids though." Barbara mentioned. "He's head over heels for your baby Barbara." Walker announced. "I thought so, but most guys act that way around her, goofy, can't walk or talk. For some reason their brains turn to mush." Barbara joked. "They are just so young though." Donna said. "I don't know if I agree. Jessy has always had to be more mature, more responsible being the only girl and they haven't been sheltered. They've been out there since they were four years old dealing with the world. You want to talk certifiable, here look at these." Barbara said pulling out a mini photo album from her purse producing five pictures, one of each of her children at the age of four or five, holding on to a 1600# Draft horse or a 1200# cow, holding a trophy and blue ribbon. "My god they're so little and, and..." Donna was stuck for words. "And the animal is so huge. I know, I know. It's hard to believe that way our life now. We only have Fresians now, show stock mostly. Breeding, raising, training and selling, that's how we make our living. We'll be back out here in October for a big livestock show." Barbara said. "Yeah at the fairgrounds they have it every year." Walker said. "Yep rich oil folk love showy horses. My kids spend the whole week showing for other sellers too and really pull in the bucks." Barbara shared. "You'll stay with us when you come." Diana insisted. "Girlfriend my horse trailer is nicer than my house. Air conditioning, satellite dish, big comfy sofa, king size bed. I'd rather be on the road any day." Barbara complained."You know I think we're here for Zac's birthday or right after it, we could surprise the little booger. He's such a card, it would be fun to pull one over on him. "We're hungry." Jessy and Mackie screamed racing over. "No Zac." Jessy squealed as he caught her. "Baby I'm sorry. It was Mackie's idea. I know I should have known better but it sounded so funny at the time." Jessy giggled. "So you think it's funny huh? Prepared to die woman." Zac said picking her up in his arms. "I said I was sorry." Jessy pouted, adding, "I don't want to die Zac, I'd miss you too much." Jessy said. "No you wouldn't, you'd be dead." Zac insisted. "But such a tortured soul I'd be stuck following you the rest of your life making sure there was never anyone else but me." Jessy said. Right and what do you think spirit of you'd do if I hit on some chick?" Zac asked. "I'd spook the shit right out of her. Word would spread that Zac Hanson was haunted and you'd live alone until the day you die and we'd be back together again." Jessy said seriously. "What a crock." Zac said. "Well then do it, murderlize me and you'll see." Jessy said starting to giggle, fighting to keep a straight face. "Where do you get this crap." Zac asked starting to laugh. "It could be true, you don't know." Jessy teased as Zac kissed her slowly letting her back down and as soon as her feet were on the ground. "You're so gullible." Jessy said pushing him backwards into the pool and cannon balling him as soon as he surfaced. While underwater, Jessy swam behind him wrapping her arms around him, nuzzling his neck. As they surfaced Zac pulled her around to face him causing her heart to race. "Zac, I'm terrfied. I want you so. I've never felt like this before." Jessy said her fingers tracing the outline of his lips, before she gently kissed them, slowly inching her way around them as she wrapped her arms around his neck. As their bellies touched, the shivers raced through her body and she gasped, "Zac, I love you so." Jessy whispered pulling away from his lips and gazing into his warm brown eyes. "Me too babe. God Jessy you feel so good in my arms." Zac moaned softly as his hands traced the outline of her body once again, stopping on her butt, caressing then pulling her closer into him as he slowly began to rock his body. "Jessy promise me, someday when it's right you'll let me make love to you. Let me be the one." Zac pleaded, kissing her deeply. "That's all I want Zac, is for you to love me, now and always." Jessy whispered kisisng him back longer and harder. The family enjoyed the rest of the day together playing and laughing and as promised Walker made the six available for pictures at the end of the day. They were fascinated with Jessy once again suggesting the six get in the water for a game of water chicken. As they exited the pool unknown to them, Jessy's every move. As Zoe and Mackie tired, they loaded up and headed to the hotel to pack heading to the Hanson's so they could pack for the kids, while the six headed to the airport with Momma Donna, Chele, and Monica for their flight home. "God I don't believe you're spending the next two weeks with Hanson. That's not fair. Mom why didn't you invite the to stay with us. Oh forget you couldn't handle it and Daddy's would have a cow." Chele whined. "Momma Donna if we pay for the ticket can sis come for the weekend you know after flags on Friday fly over and spend the weekend with me? Please." Jessy begged. "She's never home anyway, why not." Donna agreed. "Great we can use my collection money, Momma won't say anything about that. Besides I sort of finally got the one thing I really wanted to collect." Jessy giggled wrapping her arms around Zac. "What kind of collection you got, or should I be afraid to ask?" Zac asked. "Man guys you want to know about yourselves, ask Jessy. Sis has got the hugest Hanson collection I know of." Chele said. "They don't even waste their time trying to prove otherwise. Used to be all that went on in the ChatRoom was someone trying to prove they had more pics, posters, articles, CDs, tapes, autographs, drumsticks, guitar pics, water bottles, sweat towels. You name it sis has it." Monica shared. "Man Zac you don't even have to pack a toothbrush, she already has one of yours in her room." Chele teased. "What? No you don't I didn't.." Zac stopped in mid sentence. "Yeah you did in Canada. You and Tay were talking with two sisters and Tay gave the oldest sister his hair band and you said you wouldn't give yours up it was your last one." Jessy explained. "Yeah and I ran back in the room and brought her my toothbrush." Zac finished. "Laura is a real good friend of mine now. Maybe someday I can get you two together again, she sure won't believe my just telling her I met you and fell madly in love with you." Jessy said. As the girls boarded and they stood watching them taxi away. "Wow the stories I have to tell but nobody is going to believe me." Jessy pouted as they loaded up and made their way back to the guys' house. It was decided that they would drive straight through between Barbara, Isaac and Taylor and before morning they had made to Michigan and were closing in on Jessy's house. At the last stop for fuel about fifteen miles from their house, "Tell your stories now and they'll believe you." Barbara said handing Jessy a copy of USA World today and on the bottom was a small picture of Jessy kissing Zac directing you to the Entertainment section where they covered the front page. "Zac Hanson In Love" the caption read with a picture of Zac kissing Jessy next to a sexy shot of Jessy exiting the pool, licking her lips and shaking her head. The caption below the picture read "Zac's True Love, Jessy" and the article highighted the contest that brought them together, the noted connection that formed instantly. "She's right babe, they'll believe you now. Stories will be told." Zac said kissing her sweetly.
